Bumble For Friends: Meet IRL

Couldn’t get past the add photo part. I try to upload a photo and just get three dots. I’ve deleted the app and downloaded again, I’ve updated my phone. Nothing works.

If Bumble actually wants this to be for finding friends they need to remove all the gay guys using it to find “straight” guys to hookup with. Also way too much emphasis on appearance which doesn’t matter that much for friends. Really lays bare how useless these swiping apps are for finding any kind of relationship whether it be friends or romantic.

I installed the app, logged in through Apple ID, and sat watching the next loading screen for 5 minutes. Uninstalled and reinstalled and logged in again, and that time it also was stuck at the first loading screen after hitting “sign in with Apple ID”

This app has gone down the thrash hole since they got rid of the community chats and separated bff from dating. Tried to sign up and can’t get past the page to add photos. Tried 5 times in the span of 3 months. Even reached out for help and heard nothing back. I miss the old bumble, screw this app

Edit: My photos meet the guidelines. Clear pictures of my face with good lighting. No filters. No group photo. Nothing inappropriate. No good reason to supposedly reject my photos. So the problem is with the Bumble app, not with me. I can’t get past the screen that asks me to upload 2 photos… please fix this issue that makes it impossible for me to use bumble bff. I also tried to use bumble bff in the regular bumble app, but you removed that option. Can’t sign up through my browser either.

App doesn’t allow you to mass delete conversations. It only allows you to delete conversations one at a time and automatically refreshes, taking the user to the top of the page. Unmatching doesn’t always work and I still see the person in my conversations. It’s a waste of time and super glitchy. Bumble BFF also doesn’t protect women on the app from predators either. Bumble allows THOUSANDS of straight, SINGLE cis gender men select their gender as “woman” in order to get only women matches. These men are inflitrating safe spaces of women for ulterior motives (using BFF for romantic and hookup reasons). Disgusting how this app doesn’t care about women who only want to use the app for platonic friends. Keeps happening, I’ve see 35 straight, single men on my feed within 20 minutes on the app. Reporting them doesn’t work either!! It says I need more proof — then why are straight cis men selecting their gender as female in order to only talk to women and not men!? Improve the vetting process.

New user, tried it for 25 minutes today, it wasted 14% of my charge. This doesn’t happen with any other app.

Basically Bumble BFF is a cruising app similar to that famous one starting with G. The majority of men on this app are not looking for friends “without benefits” so if you’re looking for people with genuine intent for friendship, look literally anywhere else.

I guess I understand why bumble moved to a separate app for bff and the experience isn’t bad but there are a few features that I wish they’d implement: PLEASE add a gender filter. I do not wish to match with straight men. I tried once before and they’re very much there to look for hookups/romantic connections. Pls, we don’t want that. The Spotify connection from the regular app was a great feature. I like seeing if someone has similar music taste as that’s something I like to bond over. Hives were great, I understand there are meetups or whatever but I feel like the concept of a group was better and the meetups feature can be integrated into hives IMO. The profile sharing feature would be nice to have as you may find a profile that’s not for you but would be a great connection for someone else. Overall, it is a good app, I have made friends on here and I’m looking to make more. I just feel like there’s room for improvement and I’m hoping our suggestions on here get taken into consideration 🙂

I tried to join bumble bff and it never worked , like I could never even swipe. Downloaded the regular bumble and it worked, tried to use the friends app and it switches me to the bff app that does not even open.
